Email php error

I get this error every time I add someone to a group or someone registers.

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 234
File : /var/www/localhost/htdocs/includes/emailer.php

Someone told me it could be that I don't have a email program running or something so my gentoo box wont send it out. But I'm just using my Hotmail name right now cus I havent got a email server running.

If you don't have an smtp daemon running then it won't be able to send the mail out and you will indeed get errors.

Examine the output of a simple mail() command. If you get a 1 then it was at least sent to the daemon which implies you have one. A 0 shows it didn't work.

You should have ssmtp installed by default, simple smtp. You'll need to configure it, pretty simple, and then PHP will be able to use the generic sendmail wrapper to send mail. You can also install a full MTA, but if you're not going to be delievering email locally or receiving email I wouldn't bother.
